Internet Revolution

Information technology has fundamentally altered many aspects of daily life, including interactions with the government. The role of the Internet continues to increase as more citizens use it to find pertinent information, purchase goods and services, and participate in virtual communities. By capitalizing on the Internet revolution, governments can create new channels of communication and new methods for participation via e-government. The changing environment, coupled with citizen and business demands, encourages government involvement in e-government initiatives and related uses of information technologies. Clearly, the role of information technology in the public sector has changed rapidly over the past decade. The computer systems that were once a luxury investment for wealthy states and local governments are now supporting almost every function of local government. In virtually all local governments across the nation, information-technology investments are becoming an increasingly important area of attention for elected officials and administrative leadership alike.

The Way

In this chapter, we are mainly interested in ways that use of the Internet can promote helpful, legitimate, and practical support to teachers, students, and others interested in education for peace, conflict resolution, and violence prevention. The World Wide Web, a powerful global network, has immense capacity to influence people (especially children) that can be compared to the influence of television. Research that has been done on television viewing shows that it can have positive and negative effects on behavior beginning in early childhood. It does not affect everyone in the same way—variables such as age, socioeconomic status, and identification with television characters all play significant roles in how content affects a child. The Internet and other interactive media are similar to television by way of underlying factors (such as observational learning, attitudes, and arousal) that influence behavior. Over the past several decades, some of the most profound changes in the way we live have come from the revolution in information technology (IT). A wide range of technologies has not only made it easier to communicate but also to send and utilize information. These devices have not stayed in the province of institutions or specialists but have found their way into common use. From cell phones and personal digital assistants to computers (just to touch on some of the most common of these technologies), they have changed the way ordinary people interact and behave. Their effects have been profound, as reflected in the speed with which these technologies have evolved and insinuated themselves into everyday life. Perhaps the most important of these technologies is the personal computer (PC). In itself, the rise of the PC was a dramatic event, allowing more people to apply the capabilities of the computer to small business, personal activity, and schoolwork. But in the past decade, other information technologies that utilize the PC, the most important of which are the World Wide Web and electronic mail (e-mail), have appeared and promise further large-scale uses.

The Impact

This article explores English neologisms in the spheres of information technologies based on the Internet resources. Neologisms and their most essential classification are observed and studied in the article. The most widely used classifications of neologisms according to their ways and methods of creation are clarified. The meanings of neologisms and their influence on the language and language flow in the modern world are identified as well. Due to rapidly developed computer technologies and the Internet, the neologisms and new words are created very quickly and constantly. It is important to state that English is enriched about 800 words yearly. However, it would take a long time to consolidate the position of new words in a language, and to make their content comprehensible to an average citizen. The similar situation is observed with the use of widely used words in a new meaning in other spheres of communication. Along with new inventions and devices, new software is emerging, for example, we now are not able to imagine our lives without search engines and systems, as well as the internet, or devices such as a smartphone. All these phenomena, accompanied by the formation of new vocabulary units, and information resources that have a target audience, namely professional users of information technology products. They provide the spread of the latest vocabulary (i.e. neologisms), its socialization (acceptance in society), and then lexicalization (consolidation in language). We can speculate that neologisms are one of the linguistic means that reflects cultural and technological progress in society. Modern humanity lives in the age of information, the main feature of which is computer technology. That is why the problem of the existence and functioning of the Internet language is urgent. The issue of computer language usage has been studied since the first computer was created in the mid-twentieth century. The researches were carried out by prominent scientists in different countries of the world. It might be added that various aspects of the impact of computer communication on language and vice versa were researched, as well as the relation between the development of lexical units and their ways of appearing in language. But it is essential to note that there are linguistic classifications of neologisms. The first one is according to the way of formation, namely, it names a new subject and gives the old concept a new name in order to renew and refresh the language. The emergence of neologisms of the first type is necessary to name a new phenomena in society, but the second type arises involuntarily. They could also be divided into lexical, authorial, individual-stylistic, phonological, loanwords, semantic and syntactic neologisms. They are also morphological according to the methods of creation, for example, defriend, web master, googlable and facebookian. As for shortening and abbreviation, we could define that such as methods are most widely used in English (CPU – Computing processing unit). To sum up, neologism is one way to increase the vocabulary of the language and a means of generating names for new phenomena in society. They appear in all areas of our lives, but they have gained the most development in the field of information technology because this area is the fastest growing in the world today. Since the primary purpose is to name a new subject, most modern neologisms belong to the lexical group, and they are called a new phenomenon because in our time, a new information revolution is taking place and this process is accompanied by the formation of new concepts and phenomena that need new words. It is also not surprising that the percentage of authorial neologisms is now growing, which has expanded significantly with the development of social networks and independent authors. They form a certain initial group of speakers, sometimes quite large, as the accounts of certain IT journalists have up to one and a half million followers, so the spread of these neologisms is extremely rapid.

At the present stage of civilization, information plays a key role in the functioning of public, state institutions and in the life of each individual. The rapid development of modern information technologies plays an important role in various spheres of life, activates civil and business turnover and promotes the movement of entrepreneurship in the direction of globalization. In connection with the continuous development of information networks, there are new social institutions, such as e-commerce. At present, the leading economies of the world and highly developed countries demonstrate the rapid development of electronic trading mechanisms, moreover, information technologies are actively used in all sectors of the modern world the economy. Therefore, society gradually evolves, adapts to changes and goes to a noticeably high level of economic relations. And from that how fast the changes in mechanisms in the traditional form of trade depend the efficiency of introducing electronic technologies into the economy. The global e-commerce market is growing year by year. This is facilitated by the deeper penetration of the World Wide Web in different regions and the growth of online sales in the existing markets. The Internet network is an entire industry that quickly penetrates all areas of human activity. Right now, this industry is in a rapid growth phase. A huge number of companies around the world see the Internet a great commercial potential and the ability to move their business to a qualitatively new level. In most countries, e-commerce has become widespread and has opened up incredible opportunities for business and economic development. Annually, the global e-commerce market is growing. This is due to the fact that information technology is taking on an increasingly important role in the life of a modern person. Ukraine is trying to meet world progress, but in the development of e-commerce is far behind the others. Undoubtedly, in our country there are favorable preconditions for the development of e-commerce. At the same time, there are a number of factors that are serious problems for the domestic development of this type of business. In recent years, e-commerce has been able to penetrate practically all spheres of life of the population and in Ukraine. The domestic e-commerce market is only at the inception stage, but at the same time it has a significant potential for development. According to expert estimates, in the past 2017, the turnover of physical goods and services in e-commerce has increased by 30% and now makes at least UAH 50 billion. In 2018, the growth rate will continue and the turnover of physical goods and services in e-commerce will be about 65 billion USD.

In the information society the status of information is changing: this main value of global civilization becomes an important resource of socio- economic, technological and cultural development. The rapid development of virtual technologies and the growing number of Internet users in Ukraine and in the world causes the new challenges to communication of each organization. The book publishers are also obliged to respond to these processes. However, the works devoted directly to publishers’ communication in the modern media space are still lacking in Ukraine. The objective of the article is to clarify peculiarities and conditions of the activities of Ukrainian book publishers in today’s media space which is an important issue today. It is analyzed the literature and sources on this issue and it is ascertained the theoretical and practical possibilities to take into account the trends in the world of modern media in the PR-activity of book publishers. Also the prospects for further scientific study and practical use of PR-communications in the activity of publishers are determined. The analysis of current changes in the modern information space allows us to trace the general tendencies: the new subject and object areas are formed; the number of subjects is expanded; the new formats of interaction within the system of communications of the organization and in society as a whole are created. That means that publishing house’s PR-communications are complicated by the emergence of new elements, such as active audience, social networks as communication channels, promotions on the Internet and others. PR communication in the Internet space is the most effective and inexpensive tool for interaction of publishers with active audiences. Thus, the activation of PR communication in the modern media space is associated with the emergence of the latest information technologies, online media as well as development of Internet. The use of online channels of Internet for communication with the target audience of publishing organizations has certain advantages over traditional media. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the information saturation of media space, which complicates the way of PR-messages of book publishers to the reader.
